The ongoing uprising in Palestine has proved to be the main obstacle
facing the American plans for the Middle East region that conform
to the Zionist dream of establishing greater israel,
and which explain the unconditional support granted by successive
US administrations to strengthen the Jewish State making it a key
player in the region.

Failing to crush
the Muslim peoples uprising, the US-Zionist enemy initiated
a new plan under the guise of peace, the Road Map, which
would supposedly lead the way to the establishment of a Palestinian
State and granting the Palestinians some of their rights.

So what exactly
is the road map, and what are its chances for success?

THE ROAD MAP

In an attempt
to reach a final solution to the Middle East problem, an international
committee comprising of the US, the UN, the EU and Russia, created
the Road Mapa plan based on a two-stage process
aiming at achieving peace by the year 2005. Its objectives
are:

1. Bringing
an end to the Palestinian uprising and resistance whilst making
major changes to the structure of the current Palestinian Authority
on the financial, administrative, security and legal fronts. In
return, Israeli forces will withdraw from Palestinian towns and
dismantle some small Jewish settlements.

2. Proclaiming
a Palestinian State with temporary borders and restricted regional
ties. The formation of such a state is directly linked to three
issues including a) the continuous and full cooperation on the security
level with Israel; b) the formation of a new Palestinian government
appointed by their new agent, Abu Mazen; and c) the normalisation
of relations (especially on the economical and security fronts)
between the Arab regimes and Israel.

Prior to the
start of the new rounds of negotiations, the Jewish state set a
series of preconditions, the most important of which were:

1. Link ingthe
so-called Israeli concessions with immediate action, on the other
hand, against the Palestinian resistance and, on the one hand, with
radical changes to the structure of the Palestinian Authority, especially
shifting the powers from Yassir Arafat to the new Prime Minister,
Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen).

2. Refusing
to bring a halt to the Jewish settlement activities on occupied
Palestinian land, under the claim of natural growth
of existing settlements.

3. The refusal
to submit to the ruling of the afore-mentioned international committee,
and to insist on having it as sole reference the extent to which
the Palestinian Authority should meet their obligations on the security
level.

4. Refusing
to determine the nature of the promised Palestinian State, and to
leave it to future dual negotiation rounds.

5. Refusing
to abide by a set timetable that ends in 2005, and to link it to
the level of cooperation from the Palestinians.

THE REAL OBJECTIVES
OF THE ROAD MAP
A glimpse at the Road Map shows that the real objective
behind it is to bring the blessed Intifadah to an end, in return
for ambiguous promises for a sovereign-less Palestinian state. In
recent months, the Intifadah has transformed into a real nightmare
for Israel and threatened its own existence, especially in light
of the new tactics and weapons deployed by the Palestinian resistance
to face up to the daily massacres committed by the Israeli forces.

Despite this,
Arafats Palestinian Authority was quick to begin implementing
its part of the deal. This was illustrated through the introduction
of a the Prime Minister position for the Palestinian Authority,
and the appointment of the US-backed controversial figure, Abu Mazenor
Mahmoud Abbasin that position.

WHO IS ABU MAZEN?
It is important to study Abu Mazens background to understand
the size and gravity of the conspiracy he was entrusted with against
the Muslim people of Palestine.

Abu Mazens
real name is Mahmoud Abbas Mirza. He is a follower of the Bahai
religion, a branch of Zionism, which originated in the first half
of the nineteenth century to tackle Islam from within. Mirza Ali
Mohammed Shirazi created Bahaism. He was executed in 1266 Hijra
due to such blasphemous beliefs as incarnation, and his claim that
the divine being have materialised in his own body.
All Muslim sects unanimously agree that Bahaism is a religion separate
to Islam serving the Zionist cause. Its followers are not Muslim.

Politically
speaking, Abu Mazen emerged due to his role in the negotiations
preceding the Oslo agreement, in which the Palestinian Liberation
Organisation surrendered 80 percent of the Palestinian land in return
for municipality authorities over the West Bank and Gaza strip.

Abu Mazen outlined
his views to the current situation through a number of statements
to various media outlets. In his talk to the Asharq Al-Awsat Arabic
newspaper (31/1/2003), he said: The alternative of war is
no longer conceivable for the Palestinians. Our only choice is negotiation
for peace.

He further attacked
the peoples resistance saying that they do not believe in
a peaceful solution, nor in international legitimacy, nor in summits,
nor in anything; they only seek destruction; they do not represent
the Palestinian people.

He also said:
Israel is a state that was founded to prevail.

In another statement
to Reuters on 18/4/2003, he stated that his mission is going to
be that of pursuing the Palestinian movements of Hamas and Jihad,
in order to prevent them from launching terrorist operations
targeting Israels security.

The new Palestinian
government have reinitiated security and intelligence coordination
with the Zionists through a number of meetings with Mohamed Dahlan,
an infamous agent for the Israeli intelligence services, Mossad,
and who was also appointed in the interior ministry post.

CHANCES OF SUCCESS
The Road Map faces a number of obstacles, including:

1. The utter
refusal of the overwhelming majority of the Palestinian people to
the so-called peace process. This has become especially
true in light of the US involvement in initiating this process or
sponsoring it, due to the growing enmity towards anything American,
especially after the criminal US war against the Muslim people of
Iraq.

2. The deepening
conflict between US and Zionist-backed Abu Mazen and other groups
within the Palestinian Authority, particularly Yassir Arafat who
fears of being stripped of whatever remains of his powers, especially
having been jailed within his compound for over a year. He would
therefore strive to fight Abu Mazens single-handed approach.

3. The Israeli
deception, clearly seen in the ambiguous conditions set by the Israelis;
the ongoing military escalation against the Palestinian people,
and policies of closures of towns and cities.
